What goal have you 13 00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:36,440 Speaker 2: achieved nine years? Which is I know, I know, it's 14 00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:39,000 Speaker 2: just a drop in the bucket, but thank you, thank 15 00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:39,680 Speaker 2: you very nice. 16 00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:41,800 Speaker 1: Now you should celebrate nice things in your life. I'm 17 00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:43,720 Speaker 1: glad you in to made the most of it. Dan, 18 00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:45,879 Speaker 1: Where are we at with the Tariff's? What's going on? 19 00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:49,320 Speaker 1: I honestly thought Trumpy would take this as an opportunity 20 00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:50,800 Speaker 1: to just bail out of them and go, oh look 21 00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:52,720 Speaker 1: we was too hard and don't worry about it. 22 00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:56,160 Speaker 2: But no, no, no, no, no, Actually it's kind of funny. 23 00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:59,520 Speaker 2: I saw this trending, I think yesterday, so I had 24 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:00,960 Speaker 2: a sort of google it and find out what they 25 00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,840 Speaker 2: were talking about. Taco trade, which is what Wall Street 26 00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:07,640 Speaker 2: analysts have now coined this phrase because it's it's their 27 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:10,640 Speaker 2: belief that the President Trump always chickens out from imposing 28 00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,559 Speaker 2: these these steep import taxes. And so he was asked 29 00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:15,480 Speaker 2: about this in the Oval office and he said, you know, 30 00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:19,360 Speaker 2: that's a nasty question. But basically, yeah, like you just 31 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:21,600 Speaker 2: said in the world wires, I mean, the US Court 32 00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,480 Speaker 2: of International Trade has ruled that he exceeded his authority 33 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,039 Speaker 2: on the power. So the court gave the White House 34 00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:28,640 Speaker 2: ten days to remove almost all the tariffs. The White 35 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,399 Speaker 2: House appealed, and then the Federal Appeals Court has now 36 00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:33,560 Speaker 2: stayed the court's ruly, which means as a going to 37 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:35,200 Speaker 2: stay in place for the time being, in one way 38 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:36,679 Speaker 2: or the other. I mean, these tariffs are going to 39 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:38,240 Speaker 2: go through. I mean, this has been a huge part 40 00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:40,680 Speaker 2: of his agenda for the first one hundred plus day. 41 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:42,959 Speaker 2: So I think they'll find a way to tack these 42 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:43,759 Speaker 2: on somehow. 43 00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:46,560 Speaker 1: All right, now, what has happened with the Elon musk. 44 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,200 Speaker 2: Gosh, you know, I'm trying to think back to maybe 45 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,160 Speaker 2: it was six months ago you had somebody on your show. 46 00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,440 Speaker 1: Good Try, Okay, So what happened was what was the 47 00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:01,520 Speaker 1: it was? It was no Vimba Teeth of No Zimba 48 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:05,160 Speaker 1: twenty twenty four when one Dan Mitchinson made this prediction. 49 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 2: I think in six months from now, we're going to say, hey, 50 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:09,720 Speaker 2: whatever happened to that bromance, and he's going to be 51 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,400 Speaker 2: on to somebody else. Honestly, I think that's why. 52 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:14,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, so let me just count some one of him 53 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:17,519 Speaker 1: December January, februy, March April, so you're just a month out. 54 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 1: But that's pretty good. 55 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:21,799 Speaker 2: That is That is yeah. Actually, I mean it was 56 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:23,799 Speaker 2: only a matter of time. I mean, he sat down 57 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:25,840 Speaker 2: for this big interview with CBS Sunday morning, it's going 58 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:27,800 Speaker 2: to be it's going to be airing, and he says, 59 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 2: you know, he agrees with a lot of what the 60 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,240 Speaker 2: administration does, but he says he also has a difference 61 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 2: of opinion, and he says there are things that he 62 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,200 Speaker 2: doesn't entirely agree on, and I think we've seen that 63 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 2: more and more of the last thirty and sixty days. 64 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 2: But he says, it's kind of hard to bring that 65 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,680 Speaker 2: up if you're appear to be criticizing the president, because 66 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,360 Speaker 2: it's a bone of contention, And he says, I'm kind 67 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 2: of stuck between a rock and a hard place. I 68 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 2: don't want to speak up against administration, but I don't 69 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 2: want to take responsibility for everything that they're doing. So, 70 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:55,920 Speaker 2: you know, he says, I'm kind of stuck. And so 71 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:57,920 Speaker 2: I think these two are just sort of having a 72 00:02:57,960 --> 00:02:59,799 Speaker 2: parting of the ways, which one. 73 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,480 Speaker 1: I mean, it doesn't sound like it's terribly hostile, is it. 74 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 1: I mean, it doesn't sound like it's total bromance, but 75 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 1: it's not hostile either. 76 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:09,400 Speaker 2: No, No, I don't think so. I mean, you know, 77 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,960 Speaker 2: the Musk wasn't going to stay there for the entire 78 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 2: four years, and you know, Tesla and the board of 79 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:18,919 Speaker 2: directors right now are saying you got to get back 80 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:20,920 Speaker 2: and focus on your number one priority because you know, 81 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 2: stock and sales are down, you know, thirty forty percent 82 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:24,720 Speaker 2: right now. So I think that's what he's going to 83 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,280 Speaker 2: be turning his attention to. But you know, there's definitely, 84 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 2: I think, been a little bit more tension in the 85 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 2: last few months than there was back in November and 86 00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 2: December in the early part of this year between the two. 87 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:36,840 Speaker 2: But I'm glad. You know, every once in a while, 88 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 2: unlike what my kids might say or even my wife 89 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 2: on occasion, I can be right. 90 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 1: About so almost right, almost right. 91 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 2: Yes, almost right, Yes, yes, Now, these three. 92 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:49,120 Speaker 1: Of the chemicals have been found in American beer. How 93 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:50,080 Speaker 1: do they end up there? 94 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 2: Well, I mean ninety five percent of beers that they 95 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 2: tested had these synthetic chemicals in them, and they're basically 96 00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:01,120 Speaker 2: coming in from the water that's used to brew beer. 97 00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,840 Speaker 2: I mean they're called forever chemicals, and the Environmental Protection 98 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 2: Agency had established a limit for them in drinking water, 99 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 2: and then researchers said, well, wait a minute, this isn't 100 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 2: good because they're linked to cancer and thyroid disease and 101 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:16,040 Speaker 2: liver damage and fertility problems. And so they're testing in 102 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 2: certain parts of the country right now. I think North 103 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,719 Speaker 2: Carolina had the highest you know number of these toxins. 104 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 2: And bottom line is it means the standard of water 105 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 2: filtration over here right now for some of these systems 106 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 2: and breweries is not effective enough. And it means we 107 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:31,560 Speaker 2: need better ways to treat our water, and not just 108 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 2: you know, breweries, but also at local water plants that 109 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,240 Speaker 2: we're drinking here and there. And I'll have to go 110 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,159 Speaker 2: back when you were talking about the best water, the 111 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:40,480 Speaker 2: best water ever comes out of a hose tap. In 112 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 2: my opinion, I still as a kid, I look back 113 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:44,440 Speaker 2: on that I think that's the best tasting water. 114 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:49,080 Speaker 1: N Dan, it tastes like the hose. 115 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:52,000 Speaker 2: Though, oh no, no, no, da hot. 116 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:56,360 Speaker 1: Time, Dan, it tastes like the hose, which means that 117 00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 1: you like the taste of the hose. 118 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,000 Speaker 2: Well, it's better. And then the one of your listeners 119 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 2: was seeing the sewage or they had a nutty taste. 120 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:07,440 Speaker 2: I mean, I'll take the hose over that any deal. 121 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 1: Well, I think we all would. Okay, that's kind of weird, 122 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 1: but I love that. Dan Mitchison always an odd man, 123 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,960 Speaker 1: our US correspondent, that hoes always it always because especially 124 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:18,760 Speaker 1: in the summer a it's been like that hose has 125 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:20,800 Speaker 1: been sitting there cooking.
